I'm hoping someone can advice me on a good program to locate all of my duplicate images. I have Organizer and Picasa but I was hoping someone could suggest a simple program that will locate all my image files so I can compare them and delete the ones I have in more than one folder. I once had a program which would look in each folder and allow me to divide my photos by good or not good and duplicate. I can no longer find that program on my machine. I can't even remember the name of it now.
I am trying to get rid of photos which I mistakenly downloaded from my camera more than once and also photos I have worked on and then kept in more than one file type. Any offers of advice or what you use would be much appreciated at this time. I am trying to organize my way back to sanity!!!
Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom.
Debbie: there are a couple of free software programs that you can download. I haven't tried any, but just a quick review they looked helpful. Here are a few: Dup Detector, DupliFinder and VisiPics. Hope this helps.
Thank you Lynda, I will have a look at them.
Here are a few places you can try.
Some even have a try before you buy option.

Thank you Judy. I have been trying Visipics and it's not bad. There is just the bit of learning curve but it has narrowed my photos down some. I may even venture back to PSE9 organizer and have a go to see if it's quicker. Visipics is not that slow if you don't try to load more folders than necessary. Thank you again for these helpful articles!
I'm moving this thread to the Photography Forum.
Ooh.. ok.. sorry if I stuck it in the wrong topic. I guess since most of my scrapbooking even digital involves organization. I just associated finding duplicates with organization.. thanks for keeping me straight!
I thought the duplicate photo probs only happen to me, thanks for sharing the easier way to organize it
